MANCHESTER CITY will be eager to build on their 100% start to the 2022/23 Premier League season in Newcastle this Sunday.
The Citizen’s recently brushed aside Bournemouth in true Pep Guardiola style.
And they didn’t much help from their mega summer signing Erling Haaland who amusingly only touched the ball twice in the entire match – one was from kick-off.
But the Magpies are expected to give City a tougher test especially with Newcastle’s home crowd in support.
However, the Toon shipped a staggering NINE goals to Manchester City last campaign and failed to register one for themselves.
